@driftwood
Thanks for pointing out.
I check instantly! ;-)

@MbhuyKo first time ive heard of a problem with a panny lens on it. I dont own a 14-42 as its not brilliant but can you do a number of tests on it and then test it with my latest setting which will be up soon.

@driftwood
I appreciate what the milestone of 1 GOP was able to carry out thanks to you.

@proaudio4
I tried the efforts keep the bit rate from falling as much as possible on my way.
This is my 66MB 1GOP AQ3 setting.
Although tested with swaying the Stray's crazy chart and ss=1/800, extream stress as your test cannot be applied in my environment.
Would you find out how much tolerance over stress there are with 66MB 3GOP AQ3 stuck previously, supposing you are not disagreeable?

If the bit rate may fall when stress is low, I think it possible to enlarge highest frame size more by using AQ2 or AQ1 and the multiple of FL.

NOTE:
I have not tested other than 24H.
Moreover, I am not checking about the spanning, either.

@disneytoy We're doing a proper show this week. Those shots were quick and for the record from the night we cracked it, not brilliant, but proved to ourselves it could be done. Absolutely no concentration was put into the making of that clip :-)
PS we're testing a big percentage rise in i frames right now with some new settings for GOP1

GOP 1 then... 50i/720p50/60 anyone wanna try them?
Here's our 'digital' test of 244m the day/night we discovered it.

trolling, perhaps? @KrisCanonizado

we're interested here (this thread) in quality discussion with the primary purpose of discovering more about the GH2 hack settings, specifically those low GOP ones. This is "Personal View" forum, but there are other threads for such things. Here we need constructive testing, feedback and honest discussion, not unsupported opinion. I'm not saying you're wrong in your assessment . . . just please make some effort to support your claims.

"smooth a fuck" aka "digital as fuck"

If we think about it, Sir Driftwood's setting is better than Panny's AVC-Intra, which is considered professional.

I observed a real data-rate around 90 mbps, AVC-Intra is only 100, but has to squeeze more data into that, since it's 10 bit and 422. So, that's more compression. I admit, we need to be more careful with contrast and exposure from the start, since 8 bit and 420 is less flexible in post. But if you use this little camera carefully, you can stand up against camcorders costing many times as much.

And this (read description):


EDIT: No problems with: recording, playing back in camera, spanning etc with SanDisk ExtremePro SD card

Here's some GOP1 I shot last night with @driftwood's latest settings (first two shots only, the third shot was cbrandin's 66m):




I wanted to try the GOP1 because previously (in cbrandin's GOP12) I had poor motion quality in shots with lots of microbes. The problem manisfests as a subtle uniformity of motion in the microbes at a 1/2 second pulse. would all move at the same time (subtle, but definite.) The GOP1 seems to solve this.

@ Mihuel: Yes, I used his latest one. My results are a bit erratic, since the first try (which didn't span) played back, but the second one not. This may need some further testing.

P. S. I agree, he deserves a "Sir".

@nomad
Are you tested the last settings Sir Driftwood GOP 1? I have no problem with the playback in the camera.
